A majority of Americans have chosen Donald Trump, a known liar and convicted criminal to be their president. In a two candidate race they have chosen a ridiculous scumbag over having a capable woman to lead their nation. Make no mistake, America chooses a crook for President. What this tells the world is that the laws of the land and morality do not matter to most Americans. In the wake of all the crap that Trump spews forth daily and its divisive consequences more Americans have chosen this rather than a fresh start. This is a warning to the world about where the United States is heading and fast.
Trump’s Character Failings Fail To Halt His Ascendancy
No matter the multitude of warnings by those in the know – America would not listen. Nearly everybody who worked with Donald Trump in his first administration told the American public he was unfit for office – they did not heed the advice. The complete lack of respect for political insiders is blatantly obvious. Throwing the baby out with the bath water is an old adage. America will now reap what they have sewn – they will get the Project 2025 regime promised by the Trump camp. Dumb folk who did not bother to comprehend how and why governments work the way they do will pay the price.
America chose the crook over the prosecutor!
American Democracy Decides To Back A Dictator
What kind of country chooses a morally repugnant and criminally compromised president? Short memory my fellow! Trump’s shambolic handling of the global pandemic cost thousands of American lives. The daily posting of dumb statements deprived the office of its former gravitas. Drinking bleach and trying unproven quack remedies were dangerous tips coming from the highest office in the land. The economy was not better off under Trump, as he oversaw what led to the rampant global inflation. Americans are so stupid they don’t even understand the time lag involved in government policy decisions having an effect on the economy.
The United States Selects Trump Over Harris
America chooses a crook for President. A country of conservative pragmatists would rather go with a gasbag promising retribution than a fine upstanding woman. I have seen speculative reports about the country being not ready for a woman of colour in the top job. It is the 21C, when will Americans be ready to acknowledge a woman in power being the way to go at the national level?
Trump has won twice, both times when up against women – this tells us something about American men and women.
Trump Evades Justice & Consequences For His Many Crimes
Rich folk evade the law in America and Trump sends that message loud and clear for all to see. The multiple serious charges facing Donald Trump will melt away, according to what passes for US law. It is a joke; American justice is a bad joke. I used to think this years ago but having delved deeper into the shenanigans of Trump it is crystal clear. Law and order is a rigged game for ordinary folk who pay with their liberty for their transgressions but for the privileged it is a different kettle of fish. Trump delayed and delayed the wheels of justice via his lawyers until the corrupt US Supreme Court and Aileen Cannon could come to his rescue.
Men Valuing Money Over Morality
The pundits report that Latino men played a big part in electing a crooked president to the White House. Corruption and screwing the poor would be no surprise to them in a political leader. BS macho attitudes toward the role of women would colour their vote too. Of course, Latino men just joined the conga line of American men more generally in backing Trump.
Short termism views of the economy can make folk susceptible to lies and misinformation.
“It became clear to Democrats that they were no longer the party with an ongoing advantage among minority voters and labor unions. And they will have to think about how to win over those constituencies and where they went wrong in messaging and ground game.”
Americans are exposed to more BS in the political space than most other Western democracies. The exaggerations and lies fly thick and fast. Biden did a power of economic policy initiatives to take America into the 21C, Trump and the country will benefit from this massive investment. Americans have collective amnesia about what has happened over the last 8 years. Listening to lies and not paying attention to what is going on will cost them, I predict.
